Description:
Mellow rocks messy brown hair, with bangs swept to the side naturally, his eyes emulate the color of yellow sparks, and his body is built athletic. He has a slightly tan complexion with indications of it being lighter in his younger years. He wears baggy grey pants held up by a belt and a thin yellow hoodie, with another white zip up jacket over it. His shoes are white with dark yellow shoe-strings and a black trim color. The teenager's facial expressions vary depending on what his reactions are to certain events. His most notable expressions depict quite a few emotions. Surprise, anger, annoyance, happy, and surprised. When happy his lips seem to almost curve into a cheshire smile, while when he's angry his eyes fill with fire and his teeth sharpen-- paying homage to the classic angry anime character. Mellow doesn't often show a worried or sad look, but he does get skeptical when people are down, or someone's talking rudely to him. In such an event he usually lets his lungs exhale deeply and a hand travel to his neck. Then-- he'll do the best he can to give an answer to the matters at hand. Whenever Mellow isn't wearing his typical duds, he's in shorts and a spaghetti strap yellow shirt.




Personality:
Mellow is a calculated, collected, and observing young man, occasionally studying things from afar before approaching them himself. He likes to look good in public, so he often does his best to dress nicely for others. However, he doesn't bother with his hair usually, since it tends to fall into place naturally. The teenager believes very adornly in first impressions' verses relationships that are built up over time. This is because he doesn't quite grasp the reality of a stable relationship, and chooses to not wit for acknowledgement and instead grab it by the horns. Whether it friend or lover, he decides everything about a person solely based on the first things they say or the first ways they act in front of him. If he likes you, and you like him-- he'll respect you from the spot-on second, and usually end up butting into your life often after that at unexpected times. The amounts to which he go can range far and wide, but if he really likes you, it probably has some radical way of expressing itself. These radical impulses are probably along the lines of: Him throwing his hands over your shoulder or showing u to your home unannounced, getting you into trouble-- ranging from perverse, criminally illegal, or just plain funny. This also give him the self-proclaimed entitlement to binging off your food and living in your house, and other things without your permission.

Mellow isn't just a mooch though-- he always finds way to pay people back. They often just don't notice it at first glance. Mellow Mizuchi is very fast, sly, and tangible at making himself comfortable in all settings and environments. No matter the place nor the time, however, he always finds time to listen and counsel his fellow mages. His personality seems to click at constant from both a curious standpoint, to a calm and collected one. His name is actually a running gag for this, as Mellow is obviously the word describing him in some case scenarios; relaxed, while at other times he demonstrates the exact opposite, which he also uses as a benefactor in displaying his "inner sakura". More than anything else, Mellow can be viewed as an introvert, or an oddball, he is a human with an impervious attraction to danger. He is a sly, cheshire grinning motherfucker, and he is also the one guy you don't want to cross fates with if you're focus lies in destroying his fun or hurting people who have left a good first impression on him. He will not settle for anything short of loyalty on his part. You'd be advised to take that into consideration...

Whenever in combat Mellow is an aggravated, ruthless combatant. He spares no mercy and brutally cripples his enemies with large weapons, poisonous knives, and magic tripping effects. He is highly advanced in all forms of physical combat, though his actual ability to control magic is lesser than the prestige. He is nowhere near as good at his proficiency with electricity at this time in his career, versus how he will be in the future. But he is just as lethal and versatile with his cunning strategicness as if he'd been fighting for ages. Mellow's battle style on the defensive is comparable to a fluttering cherry blossom, the way he dodges to and fro, is very similar to a drifting petal. Sped up on the offense, and he is moving more acutely like a race car at high frequencies, zig-zagging across the battlefield. Be wary of his rapid combination methods.~

His ideals contrasting to combat appear revolve around risk instead of caution-- as he may spare life or limb to save allies or even dish out killing blows. What's losing an arm if he's saving an ally? Exactly... Now some tend to mistake his ego as wild or without viable reasoning, but they underestimating his unpredictable battle prowess by a large margin. Mellow possesses rapid reflexes and dexterity that easily slide past the common mage. Mellow Mizuchi isn't just the crackle of thunder or the roar of it striking his opponent, haha no sir, he's literally the embodiment of it! Around his home town, he once fought a man wielding a long blade ho was ransacking a tiny merchant family, he dodged so quickly that he crossed the opposition over, as if he were a basketball player with no ball, and broke the enemy's ankles. Since then, many speak of his unorthodox fighting style, and how it's doubtful if anyone can even match him blade to blade. However, when he settled down with his guild, he reverted over to more of a mentor role for members needing a shoulder to cry on or someone to vent to. He hopes to one day be a mentor; training and watching the fighters who have been shaped under his teaching. Mellow longs to be accepted, deep down, he has his own insecurities...

Motivations:

Knack For Mischief: Mellow likes to test how far he can get away with things, often creating funny references to his past experiences in the toughest of situations. Such as, being like an event where he's tied up and hung over boiling oil, he might bring up the time an old lady tried to molest him with a drugged up apple-pie, but he puked on her so she let him go. Then, he'd recommend puking on the bad guy or something dim-witted such as that. It's unknown whether or not he's serious with his stupidity, or if he merely does it to throw off the opposition with dumb suggestions.
Call Me Daddy: Mellow wants to see his fellow mages grow into prominent figures around him, he trains so that he can continue to raise the newer generations of mages for Gryphon Quill. Think of it as a makeshift sensei type thing, or a warm, confiding, mentor/fatherly figure.
Fun: Fuuuuuuuuuuun! This is self-explanatory. Mellow Mizuchi longs for adventure and the feeling of  new events unfolding around him. He seeks out danger, sometimes alone, and sometimes with others. Even against their will if they reject his offers!

Fears:

Afterlife: Mellow is scared whether or not he's worthy of getting into Heaven. The teen think he's either definitely gonna burn or just cease to exist. Which is just as frightening. That idea scares him deeply, and for that the boy tries not to think on it as often.
Being Forgotten: Mellow wants to leave his name in the history books, if he doesn't, then how will there ever be evidence of his gloriousness? Answer-- there wouldn't be. It's like being erased, with no hope of ever being accounted for or kept in the hearts of others.
Terminal Illnesses: The idea of dying by the hands of a painful disease is a scary thing. At least in a fight you have a chance at survival, when an illness sets in, it's done. You're running on luck and support from then on-- the paranoia would eat Mellow alive.


Likes:
Sorcerer's Weekly: The Yellow Mage can usually be found with the newest issues of Sorcerer's Weekly, reading up on it after breakfast each morning.
Food: Mellow is an optimistic glutton, he could very well eat you out of house and home. That is, if the flavor is just right.
Ice-cream: To Mellow Mizuchi, ice cream is like a dessert from the heavens. He loves it passionately, and is weak to agreements when offered such an intricate delight.
Dislikes:
Animals: It's a mutual thing, Mellow might try to pet a cat and it'll bite him. He'll proceed to cuss at out it loud, and then angrily kick the creature up into a tree... It's just always been that way.
Medicine: He doesn't get better, rather Mellow tends to get worse after messing with lab made substances for his allergies and sicknesses. More often than not, he'll require a healing mage for all things injury, versus hospital prescriptions. Herbs don't fall under this disliking, only pills and cough syrups and stuff of that nature.
Authority: Ohoho... Believe me, he isn't too keen on obeying laws. If he did, there'd be no fun in life!

Positive Characteristics:

• Zealot (+4): This person has trained themselves to wield a specific type of weapon. This weapon can be mentioned behind the Zealot feat within brackets to claim it upon approval.
  Explanation: Player is capable of wielding a weapon and receives one at start. The starter weapon is always common and without any magical properties but may upgraded later on.
  
  
• Agile (+3): You are particularly flexible and poised.
  Explanation: You can dodge an attack up to B Rank, so long as it is feasible for you do to so (AoE excluded). Usable once per thread.
  
  
• Diehard (+2): You can remain conscious after attacks that would fell others.
  Explanation: Allows for 1 A-Rank spell to be shrugged off. Damage is still applied, but no pain is shown. Limit of once per battle.
  
  
• High Society (+2): You know good manners and were trained to handle social interactions in noble circles. This is useful in requests involving members of the highest levels of society, such as monarchs, nobles, courtiers, lords and ladies, and high-ranking clerics.
  Explanation: You are capable of having threads with nobles. Those without this feat cannot.
  

Negative Characteristics:

• Compulsive Honesty (-2): You cannot tell a lie, nor can you behave in a deceitful fashion. You tend to be blunt rather than tactful, even if it means insulting someone who you and your companions are trying to impress.
  Explanation: You can't lie and you will tell the truth when someone asks you something instead of lying. So if your team is impressing an ogre and the ogre asks if you guys are truly from the guild you guys claimed you were and lied about it, you will screw it up and say the truth.

You have trouble resisting an invitation to join someone in a drink and sometimes shirk your duty if offered a more enjoyable time elsewhere. Whenever a good time is presented you let your guard down. You're also not capable to resist seduction of any sort. It's just not in your nature to resist such opportunities.
  Explanation: You always give in when a good time is offered such as drinks, women and other things. Even in the midst of a dangerous raid through a castle you decide to stay in the room that has wine and beautiful girls in them even though they could be monsters.
  
  
• Reckless (-1): You lack the emotion of fear. Unfortunately, it is often an important cue that keeps men from doing foolhardy things. Sure, you don't flinch at the sight of even the most hideous monster, but neither do you feel the need to run away when outclassed.
  Explanation: You can never flee from a fight with someone who is stronger than you..
  
  
• Talkative (-1): You have a problem keeping your plans to yourself. Your ideas are simply so clever that you tell them to other people, so that you can watch their astonishment creep across their faces just before they tell you just how smart you are. Your flaw gets you to reveal your plans or evil scheme to the wrong people. There's nothing to prevent you from dropping them into a deathtrap afterwards, but should they survive, then you've got problems.
  Explanation: You cannot keep a secret, and thus must announce the name of every one of your attacks.
  
  
• Allergies (-1): You are afflicted with allergies. These may be something as simple as hay fever, but the reactions to such will result in something like a huge bout of sneezing and gasping. You must mention this allergy in your character application. [Cats; Causes sneezing, stopped nose, ear pains]
  Explanation: Whenever this allergy comes into play you must suffer the consequences. The allergy must be something that can actually come and not something strange and unique.
  
  
• Derangements: Compulsions (-3): The character insists on performing ritual actions, such as touching a doorway at left, right, and top before passing through it. Though she may agree that the actions are senseless, the need to perform them is overpowering.
  Explanation: The character must do their compulsion, regardless of adverse effects--including bodily harm.
  [At every mirror or window, Mellow fogs it up and writes Takeo's name, however he does his best to keep this hidden.]
  

Magic: Thunder Manifestation
Type: Caster
Classes: Offensive, Defensive, Debuff
Element: Lightning
Description:
User can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), allowing control over electric fields, all charge carriers (Ions, Electrons, Protons, and Positrons), electronics, and electromagnetic forces. The user's electricity is even able to attack the target's neuron impulses, disrupting spells when shocked, and even paralyzing or disabling bodily movement. Mellow has even take his mastery to the next level and is able to change the directions of his electrical attacks. Such as when a bolt of lightning zig-zags across the sky.
Weaknesses:
Electricity has been described as an intensive element, very high in damage output, but hard on the control side. It can't be stopped once issued, and once the user begins charging up their mana in the form of sparks, there is no going back, it has to be released. This can endanger allies, or even unintentionally cause negative factors for the user. In short, lightning is powerful,  but it's hard to stop once it's started it's build-up, the only way being, to redirect it's stream after the out-put has already been released, which isn't always an easy feat depending on limiting factors in the area.




History:
Mellow was born under the name Mizuchi, a wealthy family from Accadia, from his mom's side of course. He had one younger brother, Lenneth, and one older brother, Xan. However, his father left after his younger brother Lenneth came out of the wound. Xan had been his mother's first son to a different man, and he went missing years before Mellow was born. So Mellow grew up without a fatherly figure, unfortunately. Mellow also had a twin, her name was Takeo, and she was older than him by ten minutes eleven seconds. She was always a little shorter than him growing up, and hat a very girly personality while Mellow knew her. At least, for the five years he spent growing up beside her. It seemed history repeated itself and took Naomi Mizuchi's second child as well. Naomi being their single mother, and a struggling young thing at that...

Little Takeo went missing and wasn't seen again after that for a long time. Little Mellow felt a deep sadness after he found out, but inside he felt as if he and her were connected. They had never fought, and loved each other deeply. She did everything he did, and vice versa. he hid his theory about her survival from their grieving mom and baby brother after that. Lenneth was very young, Mellow was thankful most of the blow wouldn't hit him at such an age. Growing up, it was really just them two against the world. Naomi caught terminal cancer at the age of twenty-seven, and left four children in the world before her passing. She often had spoken about Xan, her baby boy... and Taeko her little princess. The sobs on her death bed hit Mellow like an epiphany and he vowed to reunite the family somehow.

Around this time the Yellow Mage began counseling Lenneth who'd taken to a rebellious phase, telling him they needed to get stronger to find their siblings. However, Lenneth was discovering his sexuality and expressing himself to cope with the loss of his mother it seemed. Mellow attempted to bring him back down to earth but to no avail, so quite honestly, he placed most of his childhood into his Uncle Mitsuba's dojo. He picked up Kenpo, Hapkido, Aikido, Juin-Jutsu, and Judo. Studying effortlessly in all things combat. When he felt he had a fairly decent proficiency in hand-to-hand, he moved onto weaponry. Picking up sharp objects and eventually learning to master the use of short-swords and other blades. He spoke to Lenneth about his plan to hunt down their sister at last, and told proceeded to tell him about Gryphon Quill, a newer guild that had seemingly rebuilt itself from it's past destruction over fifteen years ago...

Mellow pleaded for his baby brother to join with him in this guild, and upon doing so, he started searching for Takeo behind the scenes of his quests. After some time, whether short or long, that wasn't important. What was important was that he had located her finally. She had been sold a slave into the traveling circus, branded a freak of the show... This angered Mellow to his core, every night past his discovery; for two weeks he slipped ice-cream into her cell to assure her she'd be free soon. He ultimately figured out the schedule for her nightly strip-downs, lock-ups, and her dinner times. So-- on the final night, a warm spring sunday, Mellow freed her, she was naked and scarred from past tortures and mutilation across her back. The bandits who had kidnapped her must've done unspeakable things to her, Mellow was disgusted at their evil deeds. To comfort his poor sister, the twin gave his sibling new clothing, a first 'real' meal, and a kiss on the forehead before taking her back. Their escape led them back to Gryphon Quill on the other side of Fiore. The two found Lenneth in town and the group was finally able to be together once more. They then approached Zane, the guild leader of Gryphon Quill about accepting Takeo as a guild member. She needed a home and regular job if she hoped to survive after all. Mellow hoped his guild master wouldn't be angry that he went on such a hiatus to save his twin sister, but in his soul, it felt right to do so.

The group is now beginning their true journey, Mellow still wonders if he'll ever meet his eldest brother though. Xan. He figured he wouldn't, but nevertheless, he kept his hopes up-- and eyes out. For now he focuses on his own story as a Yellow Mage. Striving to become more powerful for the roads ahead.
